early c4 sub tips?

ive got an 87 with black interior i already have a full kenwood excelon setup; head unit, 5in 3ways in the doors, and 6x9 3ways in the back

i like the sound but i want enough bass to feel but im not looking to shake the car apart i plan on using a 350w-600w amp at the max. I also want to keep the car looking as stock as possible. I was thinking a pair of 8in woofers tucked in the rear corners and angled inwurd or something hidden all together to minimize loss of trunk space.

Any ideas or advice.. heres a few pics of my interior

Why not replace the 6x9's w/ two eight inch subs? That's what I did. Sounded great too.

I put a 10" Solo-Baric L7 Subwoofer duel voice coil. In the storage compartment.

Which Kenwood Excelon did you go with? Trying to decide my next system.

enclosure

I used two PDX amps and one 10" in a fiberglass enclosure. One sub is plenty in a vette in my opinion.

good luck

I've got a pdx-m12 running two 12's and it's finally loud enough.

I only listen to metal.

I did a fiberglass box in the storage compartments and raised the floor enough for the amps. Sorry no pictures, the car is long gone but it looked stock until you turned it up.
